Leon Roy Wright, Sr., 86, of Nebraska City died March 17, 2013, at his home with his family by his side. Leon was born on Sept. 10, 1926, in Percival, Iowa, to John and Lillian (Lockett) Wright. On Feb. 17, 1945, Leon and Zola Rader were married.

They made their home in Nebraska City where Leon worked for Lipton-Morton House for over 44 years. After his retirement he worked at Arbor Lodge as a grounds worker for many years. Leon enjoyed going fishing with his grandchildren, family and friends; taking care of his livestock on the family farm and just tinckering, or as his mother would say, pitzing around in the garage.
